93 runner grille help

I know this sounds stupid, but I need some help getting my grille of. I found 10 clips and the corner lamps holding it on (6 on top and 2 under headlamps and another 2 bottome of grille) I released them all and the grille just wont come off it seems as if something else is still holding it in place. Anyone have this same setup please let me know what I am missing! Thanks!!

There are 11 (6 top, 3 lower middle, 2 under marker lights). 1 in the middle lower, is the one I think your missing.

ok so I got all 11 and the corners off but it is still held up. I am thinking the brakets from the headlamps are the issue, thoughts?

I not positive but I think the side marker lights have to be out.

The edge of the grill has tabs that hook into the side marker lights. Let me know if this doesn't help. I'll go pull mine to see where else it attatches.

The head lights or buckets do not have to be removed.

I know it's hard if your bumper is still on. There is a lip on the bottom of the grill and the two upper corners catch on the fender points over the marker lights.

Talking

Ok so I finally got it off. My theory was right, I had to unbolt the headlamp assy. in order to get the extra clearance I needed. This is probably due to the bumper being dinged up by the previous owner. Sorry in advance for the low quality pictures its taken with my phone.



Heres the reason I needed it off, I needed to relocate my LED strobes behind the grille for better viewing (you'll notice the top piece of plastic is missing)



Thanks for all your help!
